<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eils14, post: 9611733, member: 14776&quot;]I have &#039;The Observer&#039;s Book of Heraldry&#039; and the attached photo is taken from it. It shows how Bronwen knew the sinister side was vert (green). This also shows that the dexter side looks to probably be argent (silver). </p><p><br /></p><p>Lions are one of the oldest heraldic charges and tended to be used by royalty or high ranking nobles if a personal shield, but as you pointed out it could be from a place rather than a person. </p><p><br /></p><p>The book also says that heraldic objects are assumed to be facing the dexter, so as yours faces sinister, it would also be described as &#039;contourné&#039;. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]468351[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
